<font color="red"> My 30'x38'x10' Morton Building , complete, cost about $28,000.

I provided a flat level site 50'x60'.

The basic building including all labor and materials with 90mph Wind Rating, 4/12 roof, 2' eaves & overhangs, gutters, 4" concrete floor, a 16'x8' OH door, a 12'x8' OH door, Genie Screw Drive openers, and a 3' walk door cost $23,330.

The Morton Energy Liner including all labor and materials, which adds steel interior walls with R-19 insulation and a 10' steel ceiling with R-38 insulation, cost $3,870.

I installed an underground electric service, lights, and electric heaters for about $1,000.

A year later I could not be happier!!

I just made couple of attachment hangers for two small attachment, such as the stump grinder and the 2 inch receiver. It consist of a piece of plate steel screwed to a wood 4 X 4 that is 14 3/16 inches wide and mounted between two studs in my tool shed. The steel plate (5/16 inch thick and 6 inches wide) sticks about 3/4 of an inch above the top of the 4 X 4. I cut the 4 X 4 back on either side of the steel plate about 3/4 inch to allow the attachment to hang vertical. I will take some pictures tomorrow if I get a chance. The down side is the hoses on the stump grinder keep it from hanging vertical. I have to to think on that one. I may add a spacer to push the steel plate further from the wall. That might work.

Now there’s a great idea. I was thinking I need to do something about storage yesterday. My shed is getting over crowded with deck chairs garden tools ect. I will need to build onto it this summer. Until then I have way too many implements / attachments including my home made stuff taking up precious space in the garage. I need to do something similar. I will be curious to see your setup.

I looked into a Morton Building when i built my 30x40 pole garage last year. I got a quality pole building with 1ft overhangs, wainscoting, 1 12x9 garage door, 1 10x8 ( both insulated) garage door 2 entry doors insulation and a window. I then poured the floor, did all the electrical work and I have $15,500 complete.
Morton wanted a whopping $30,00 for the exact same building, exact same code and snow load. Same metal and same poles..
While they are in fact quality buildings, I don't think that justifies the $14,000 mark up.

I did not get the inside metal or insulated ceiling, I did not price that with Morton either though.
But, to each his own I guess.

I got mine from the local lumber dealer ( Berlin Lumber in Berlin Pa. ) If you look around there are cheaper options, Although your Morton building is very, very nice I couldn't spend that much for just a pole garage...

I just completed my storage building this past summer. I converted a shipping container by adding metal siding (like what they use on pole barns) and a gable roof to disguise the old flat roof design. Cut two window in the side
dressed them up with shutters. I removed the heavy industrial looking swing
doors and added a couple barn style that really made a big difference. It is
8' by 20'.

Now that's a pretty cool idea. Any chance of seeing some pictures? Inside and out

BARRYH,
SORRY NO PICTURES. DON'T HAVE A CAMERA. IT WAS A FUN PROJECT AND BECAUSE IT IS ''PORTABLE'' I DIDN'T NEED A BUILDING PERMIT (I AM IN
THE COUNTRY) AND DIDN'T WANT THE EXTRA REAL ESTATE TAX . IT IS VERY SOLID, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. SINCE IT IS LOCATED VERY NEAR MY HOUSE, I SPENT EXTRA MONEY ON ALL THE NICE TRIM TO MAKE IT LOOK GOOD. I BOUGHT THE CONTAINER USED AND THE OUTSIDE LOOKED VERY ROUGH.

I like it very clever idea.

I like it very clever idea.

Do a search here on TBN for shipping container. Several folks have done the same thing. They are pretty neat. One person, I can't recall who, used two of them spaced a bit apart and built a large roof between the two. It was an interesting project.
